•1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Method:

4.Once cooled, using a large spoon, stir vigorously for 5 -10 minutes until the mixture develops a matte finish.
5.Lightly oil an 8"x8" square pan. Pour fudge into pan, cover and refrigerate for four hours or until firm.

Method:
1.Tip the mince into the slow cooker stoneware and turn on to Low heat, crisp up the mince a little before adding other ingredients.
2.Add the onion, garlic, soup, paprika, beans, stock cube, chilli powder and cumin, salt and pepper, then mix well.
